Chapter 923: Pledge of Allegiance

Through Liu Baichuan's narration, Wu Yuan finally knew the truth.

I also understand why Xile was so decisive this time. He sacrificed his son's life to save Xile's mother. This debt is really huge.

But Liu Baichuan also said that Xile has been trying to delay time, why didn't he try to delay it this time?

There must be some other reasons for this, but I'm afraid only Emperor Wu and Xile know about it.

Liu Baichuan had already told everything he knew, and Wu Yuan also understood that he wouldn't be able to find out much useful information.

He just said thank you and prepared to get up and leave.

Liu Baichuan didn't intend to get up to see him off, but before Wu Yuan left, Liu Baichuan said: "If Your Highness needs someone, Yang Ming is the most suitable person. I hope Your Highness can think about it carefully."

Wu Yuan paused and asked in surprise: "Don't you deserve him to expose you to me?"

"Besides, he is now the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, a fourth-rank official, but he is an official with real power. Are you being reckless in asking him to abandon these and follow me?"

Liu Baichuan smiled brightly, "As a disciple, maybe I am not qualified to call him a disciple. In the past, I saw that he was very sharp and said some things that could easily cause big troubles. I was afraid that he would be implicated, so I broke up with him.

The relationship between master and disciple."

"But Yang Ming still thought of this little affection and secretly rescued me. I'm afraid I am the only one in the world who understands him."

"Kong has ambitions and talents, but his talent is bound to be destroyed by the wind, so he has to keep a low profile."

"His Highness just said that gold will shine wherever it goes. But if this gold is deliberately covered with black cloth and cannot be seen from the sun, how will it shine?"

Wu Yuan understood what Liu Baichuan said. It seemed that both Liu Baichuan and Yang Ming knew that Emperor Wu would never reuse Yang Ming.

The official position of Shuntian Fu Cheng, which is neither high nor low, is the most appropriate position arranged by Emperor Wu for Yang Ming.

It can not only make good use of Yang Ming, but also make it easier to control.

Wu Yuan did not promise anything to Liu Baichuan. He just said, "Real gold is not afraid of fire when it is refined, so how can it be covered by a piece of black cloth."

After saying that, Wu Yuan stopped lingering, opened the door and walked out.

Liu Baichuan looked at Wu Yuan's leaving figure, but he smiled.

"A thousand-mile horse often exists, but a bole does not always exist."

Wu Yuan, who had already walked out, did not hear Liu Baichuan's words.

Prime Minister Wen and Yang Ming also came forward. Yang Ming didn't say anything and just stood aside.

Prime Minister Wen asked, "Is there anything gained?"

Wu Yuan nodded, "Quite satisfied."

Prime Minister Wen also breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Then he glanced at Yang Ming, who immediately understood and came forward to Wu Yuan and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please give me some time without comment."

Liu Baichuan's words just now made Wu Yuan probably guess Yang Ming's intention of coming today.

To be honest, Wu Yuan has two thoughts about Yang Ming now.

Yang Ming's appearance today was too much of a coincidence. First Emperor Wu recommended this person, and then he actually appeared in front of him because of Liu Baichuan at night.

Wu Yuan had every reason to doubt whether Yang Ming was sent by Emperor Wu.

There is another idea, which is that if he had nothing to do with Emperor Wu, Yang Ming's risk-taking to save Liu Baichuan made Wu Yuan somewhat impressed, indicating that this person was not an ungrateful person and could still be used.

There is no need to mention his ability, and there is no doubt about a person who is even feared by Emperor Wu.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Yuan said to Yang Ming: "I will only give you three sentences. If you can convince me within three sentences, I will let you follow me."

Prime Minister Wen was not surprised. He had also tested Yang Ming's intention just now, and Yang Ming didn't hide much.

However, after hearing what Wu Yuan said, Prime Minister Wen knew that there was still a lot of hesitation in Wu Yuan's heart, and there was even a greater element of rejection in his heart.

Yang Ming's expression also changed, and of course he heard Wu Yuan's rejection.

Immediately, Yang Ming knelt down.

This move undoubtedly revealed the intention of surrender.

Wu Yuan remained calm and just watched quietly. Prime Minister Wen was also curious whether Yang Ming could successfully convince Wu Yuan.

After much deliberation, Yang Ming finally spoke his first words, "I would like to swear that I will be loyal to your highness to the death and never betray you."

"The first sentence." Wu Yuan didn't say anything, just stretched out a finger.

Yang Ming did not panic, and quickly spoke again: "I swear, I will be loyal to your highness to the death and never betray you."

Prime Minister Wen was startled, hadn't he already said this? What a waste of opportunity.

Wu Yuan was also stunned, but still stretched out two fingers and said, "Second sentence."

Yang Ming said again: "I swear that I will be loyal to His Highness to the death and never betray you."

At this time, Prime Minister Wen said with hatred: "Yang Ming, I asked you to say three sentences, not to repeat one sentence."

But before he finished speaking, Wu Yuan smiled and said, "Go back and pack your bags. Wait for me at the city gate when the sun rises tomorrow."

Yang Ming was also overjoyed, "Yes, I know."

Prime Minister Wen stared at these two people in stunned silence, completely confused as to why Wu Yuan agreed.

Seeing Prime Minister Wen's appearance, Wu Yuan also patted Prime Minister Wen's shoulder with sincerity and said: "Prime Minister Wen, your appearance makes me a little worried about whether you have the ability to continue to be Prime Minister."

After saying that, Wu Yuan chuckled and got on the carriage.

Prime Minister Wen felt that he had been insulted and his ability was questioned. There was nothing more uncomfortable than this.

At this time, Yang Ming came over and bowed to Prime Minister Wen: "Prime Minister Wen, don't worry about it. In fact, His Highness only has one request from me, which is loyalty. Unfortunately, other than making an oath, I really can't think of how to prove my loyalty."

Prime Minister Wen suddenly realized that feelings are so simple.

If you think about it carefully, Yang Ming doesn't know what he is doing, but he is really wise and stupid. He repeats a sentence stupidly when he sees it, but in fact he keeps emphasizing his allegiance.

"That's all, that's all. I'm really old now. From now on, you young people will rule the world." Prime Minister Wen smiled bitterly.

"But Yang Ming, I also want to give you a message. No matter when, you must remember your oath today, otherwise, your end will be really miserable."

Yang Ming looked stern, "Thank you, Prime Minister Wen, for reminding me."

At this time, Wu Yuan impatiently opened the car curtain and urged: "What's the ink mark on? I'm going back, I don't know the way."

"Yes, I will lead the way." Yang Ming no longer calls himself a subordinate, because he knows that from this moment on, he is no longer the Prime Minister of Shuntian, but just a subordinate of Wu Yuan.

But as for what identity you will have in the future, that depends on fate.

"By the way, Yang Ming, find Tian Wenxing tomorrow and wait for me at the city gate together."
